It is Sunday-- Son#2 is here--leaving probably tomorrow--
Remember-- You can be strong--BE STRONG---I shall check in here later--AND--- add a little laughter to your day
Good morning, Lynda! It’s 31 and mild here in Ohio! I bet a small snow remover would be great! I am extra happy Matt is there and helping you. He is so good! Enjoy his help and company. Have a lovely day! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteMatt has been a huge help--Lynda
DeleteGood Sunday Morning!
ReplyDeleteIt's cold here in Northern Kentucky. It's 34 degrees and they are calling for snowy/rainy weather today and overnight. I don't have to go anywhere so I won't be out in it. I have a buy week this week so hopefully the weather won't be too bad for driving around.
That's nice that Son#2 is hanging pictures for you. And you get to visit too.
Have a good day and stay warm!

Oh JaCkiE-I hall miss Matt very much--He leaves to-morrow-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda
ReplyDeleteGlad Matt is hanging pictures. He's a good guy. Wish he could stay longer.
No doubt tribute to Dr. Fred was lovely but emotional.
Not my business, but curious do you "really" want a snowblower...youve already got a snow guy. I wouldn't want to get out if I didn't have to. Will a small blower even work on your BIG snows? Whatever, your decision.
Stay warm. Enjoy your time with Matt.
Hugs from cold St.Louis

Yes, Matt found FRed's snow blower--and it seems to work--looks like an electric shovel, so I shall try using that--Lynda
DeleteYa, saving you some money!!! I kept seeing those pop up online and was going to mention them to you. No need now. :) Should at least be OK enough to clear a path for the pup & get to your car.
DeleteThe snow shovel--(blows snow) seems to work Lynda
DeleteSon #2 is my very favorite of all your kids. Thoughtful, warm, caring, and accepting. And I can say that because I'm not his mother!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww so nice!-And yes, Matt is a good guy--very caring--Lynda
DeleteI like the Idea of a small snow Blower
ReplyDeleteI love it that you son is helping get the pictures up that will help you feel more as if it is your home

DeleteGreat quote--Thank yu-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I've seen those little snow blowers - looks a bit like a shovel. They advertise them on the news and they look like just the thing for you. I don't think they are too expensive either. My driveway is way too big for that. I think if I lose Tom I'll have to hire someone to plow me out! OR maybe just stay home all winter! Take care and enjoy your son!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy--Those shovels--I agree look good--I will let yu know-Lynda
DeleteHey, how was the fundraiser? You didn't mention it. I thought about you. I also donated in honor of Fred.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with Matt. I had thought he'd be visiting a little bit longer, but glad he is getting the pictures up for you.
Marti
Oh Marti--That service outside was so so cold--but other than that--- was nice- Marti--Yu donated??--So nice of yu--Thank yu--Lynda-
DeleteYes, I donated. I just wanted to do the right thing. And, 'tis the season! :)
DeleteGood afternoon, sis.
ReplyDeleteLove the words of wisdom today! The second one really did it for me.
Yes, I like myself...even love myself. We need to care for ourselves or we can't care for anyone else.
Happy your son is helping you. We are lucky to be blessed with such great kids.
I have kinda been in a panic. It seems that Purina has sold out (or quit selling) one of the two favorites of my kitty's food! I got a couple cans of turkey to try so to switch off with his favorite. So far he loved it! Now if it doesn't make him thow up I'll be fine. I am sure you know about that.
Hope you get the new little throw blower and that it words well for you. Maybe it will be easier and you won't have to pay for someone else to clear the snow for you.
Back later, Lynda. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
Matt ressurected a snow shovel thAt Fred used to use--and it really throws the snow--I shall try to use it---- nMatt leaves to-morrow--Sad -sad sad when he goes--Lynda
DeleteThe little snow blower sounds intriguing; does the store have an open sample on the floor so you can try handling it? Or maybe, does youtube have a video of a regular person (not an ad) using it? We so rarely get snow here that I don't need something like that. I've found youtube videos very helpful for figuring out how to use or fix a thing or two...
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
I shall try to use the snow shovel that Fred used to use--It throws the snow quite far--Matt found it in our old shed-- Lynda
DeleteYes! So important that WE like ourselves, no matter what someone else thinks.
ReplyDeleteThat little snow thrower sounds right for you. You can use that help when clearing snow!
Glad you have Matt there to help you. What a good son.
HUGS and blessings.

BArb--Matt found a wee snow shovel that was Freds-- Have to plug it in, but it sure throws the snow--It just might do--Lynda
DeleteI have been seeing videos of those tiny snow blowers that they are marketing as "electric shovels" these days. They look nice, and part of me is tempted. If you do get one, I look forward to seeing if it meets your needs.
ReplyDeleteWe're still dealing with the ice from the storm a week ago, here.
Glad your son #2 helped with the picture hanging.
son #2 leaves tomorrow and I shall miss his company--such a helper--Lynda
DeleteSo nice that Son#2 is there hanging pictures for you! Could you send him to my house when he is done as I have a bunch of pictures sitting on the floor in front of the walls where I hope to get one of my kids to hang up for me????? Just kidding...my son #2 is my biggest helper so far, as he lives the closest to me, but I hate that I keep calling him to help me. Maybe when all 4 of my kids are here with their families, some of them will ask what they can help me with......(I think I am dreaming that this will happen!) A small snow blower sounds like a good plan if you have somewhere to store it! We had way too much snow for me to even think about using one....fortunately a neighbor that I don't even know too well came in his great big tractor with headlights and windshield wipers and a cab to keep him warm, and dug my long, long driveway out - twice! I wish I knew some way to thank him....if it wasn't for him, I would still be snowed in about a week later!
ReplyDeleteSandra --I shall pray that your son gets there to give yu a hand--and very nice that your neighbour helps dig yu out--lotza work to do alone--hugs,--Lynda

DeleteYou must have been busy today and then, bidding Matt farewell. Too bad he couldn't have stayed just a BIT longer. I too, hate saying farewell to people. I remember when my grandmother used to come visit when I was a child and young teen. She lived about 45 min away. She was a big help to my mom, who raised me alone while working a 9-5 job. She was everything that my own mother wasn't - warm, caring, comforting, and she spoiled me. Not that my mom was mean or anything, she just was kind of a cold, somewhat aloof mother, and I was in need of a warm, nurturing type. Oh well, we get what we get, LOL. She dragged home, tired, and then just wanted to settle in with her tv programs, while I had been without her all day (had a babysitter for after school who just sat, smoked, and watched her soaps, did not interact at all).
